Vera Sidhwa Poems

Dont ask you? Why?
Why such a frown,
Why are you so down?
Cut it out, you look like a clown.
...

He sees the world and it is bright,
And all the children's eyes are light.
But there is hope gone away in his life,
For he cares not for mirth or strife.
...

Hoggy the cop, was a very nice guy
Till the riot broke out in 1972...
They tell me he beat up some hippie
But I wasn't there to testify.
...

Seesaw Tip had too much.
And now the plank sees and saws.
With children laughing loud
Up and Down but just not right.
...

He blocked my progress,
He stopped me short,
He took away my looks,
She tore up my books,
...

They produced Fast Track
Then the remote for quicker manipulations,
While your computer offered you a match correction,
So quick that it's technique alluded you.

I think I love you more.
My fantasies of you soar.
...

Cyber agony got me hurt.
My Internet grabbed my hand pulling me in.
Whizzing through electronics and what not.
I reached an opinion of the state of our world.
...

I walk in the light of the night,
Convinced I saw everything.
Reaching the nighttime forest,
It suddenly dawned on me,
...

Mountains and freeways,
Running side by side.
The Internet and textbook,
Used together by the student.
